WASHINGTON, June 9: California Governor Gavin Newsom, a DeThe FBI has shifted its focus to combating violent crime, drug trafficking, and illegal immigration, aligning with President Donald Trump’s vision of a crackdown on illegal immigration, cartels, and transnational gangs.
The revised priority list on the FBI’s website places “Crush Violent Crime” at the top, bringing the bureau into alignment with the vision of his administration.
The Justice Department has disbanded an FBI-led task force on foreign influence and the bureau has moved to dissolve a key public corruption squad in its Washington field office.
Some former officials are concerned that the stepped-up focus on violent crime and immigration may deflect attention from more complex criminal and national security threats.
The FBI’s priority list also includes “Rebuild Public Trust” and “Fierce Organizational Accountability,” reflecting claims that the bureau has become politicized through its years of investigations of Trump.
